It’s time for the “back half” of the basement to undergo it’s renovation. This will include the renovation of a full bath, a kitchen and the addition of a bedroom. The kitchen will become more of a kithenette with bar area. A lot of the ceiling drywall was ripped out and a partial wall built early becasue we did a total kitchen renovation above it (see Pictures of Kitchen ) which included a heavy re-do of electric and and dedicated sub panel – removing the drywall in anticipation of doing this project helped a lot with access. The wall was put up becuase there is a granite topped island over a travertine floor above. I didn’t want the floor settleing with all that weight prior to putting this wall in – which will be the bedroom wall.

Its a mess and about to become more of a mess:

In the shot below, the studs are for the wall sectioning off what will be a bedroom to the right. Straight back is the walk-out doorway. The kitchen is to the immediate left (no viewable).

I’m no photographer and always use the auto settings on my dSLR but finally took the time to research indoor photo shooting a bit to try and get a better shot. I followed the simple advice of using a higher ISO speed, the largest aperature setting, and a shutter speed of 1/50 and with no flash there was a great improvement:
